It happened with my unit also some time ago. I suspect it started to update the service, when the car was stopped (just a thought). I keep the WiFi off since then and turn it on only when needed, did not have a problem since then.

I fixed the problem going in settings and use reset to factory defaults. This will format your data partition and install the default apps again (however I did not lose the root). You will need to reinstall your apps after that. If somebody found the cause of the problem please post.

Also, I was prepared to replace the "Play" applications with a version which does not do auto updates and also disables all device limitations for apps, but I could not find the "Vending.apk" in the proper place. Anyone knows why ? Google play is accessible and works but the apk does not exist in the proper place. More about here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1580827

-Did anybody find a solution to this problem ?

I have not installed any new software.

Unit powers up and after car logo it gets stuck on the android screen. The device just gets stuck on a loop and never fully boots.

If I put car in reverse back up camera comes up. I think only android got corrupted.

Im trying to fix this without reloading the firmware again.

I already hit reset button. Didnt fix the problem.

Any idea guys? ?

Another Android Unit by Roadrover

I just bought a similar unit on Aliexpress, see the link below. I paid a little more then most of you since I wanted the capacitive screen, full SWC integration with my VW and (supossingly) good reputation, which Roadrover has in China.

Does anybody here have it by any chance. Any exprience? Would the rooting be similar to what has been described in this thread?

OUKU ROOTING BlUETOOTH

I just received my OUKU 6.2 android everything works fine just attempting to root. I have read through every page on forum regarding rooting

I downloaded all of the files originally posted for root and received the 4 success messages on restart screen with the end upgrade success message. Unit went back to home screen removed sygic app.

I downloaded a bluetooth lite app and when bluetooth is clicked it quickly becomes unchecked. Ive tried with and without usb hub at the rear of the unit.

My questions are what type of bluetooth is compatible and how do you know if your rooted? (Where does superuser show up) Main goal is to get torque app functioning

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] mister7000:
To answer my own question in case someone else goes trough this.

There is no solution. U have to reflash hal9k firmware again and reload all apps.

Of course now I use Titanium Backup to backup my system incase there is another "hiccup".

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

When you un-rar the file there will be 5 files.

After succes radio will reboot and calibration screen will come up.

You should now see app "superuser" in your apps drawer.

-Done.
[Android Head-Units] Ibbyman87:
Thanks for the quick response. I un-rar the 5 five files and placed them on the root of my sdcard. Whats strange is I received the success messages on head unit and then calibrated the screen. (no superuser shows up) I have attempted this root process multiple times no luck

some questions

hello I have so questions i'd like to know since i've been using this unit for 3m now and still not use to it

1. is there a way to add aux port?

2. what kind of apps and such are you using that are stable?

3. What are people using to stream music thru bluetooth to this unit already got an adapter and it works for torque just need an app.

4 any other apps that make this unit function better?

thanks
[Android Head-Units] Tt0b1:
Hi,

I'm new to this topic, but I'm trying to help anyway..

1. As far as I remember there is one on the back of the device on one of the additional cables. It's cinch, so you'd need to have a cable that goes from cinch to stereo jack. Then you run the "Aux" app on the unit and you should hear the sound.

2. I've not built the unit into my car yet so I can't say a thing about stability. But I'm planning to use Sygic Navigation (as well as Google Maps and Waze), Spotify for most of my music, maybe another player than the stock one for usb / sd.

3.The built-in bluetooth should be able to stream music. Since your phone should be connected to that device for hands-free function anyway, just try to play some music from you phone, it should stream to the unit.

4. I don't know yet :)

DVR camera on i802

Has anyone managed to get the DVR function in the i802/S150 working? I plugged a rear view camera to the power connector and rear view video input but had no luck recording video, because the unit does not detect the camera. Digging into the installation manual, it appears that there is one exclusive input for this function, but the cable to connect to those pins was never included in the box. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to find that cable or making it myself?
[Android Head-Units] daveaus:
Is it possible to make another music app use steering wheel controls?
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
Pretty sure this will all have been discussed, but I can't find it...

1) Is it possible to change what app starts at boot? I will never (or rarely) use the radio app, so I can't see the point in it being the first thing I see. (Edit - I'm testing on the desk with ACC and B+ hooked to a PSU together - does the fact I'm removing all power make it worse than normal?)

2) Does anyone know what 3G stick models are compatible out of the box? I tried a Huawei E160e (generic unbranded) and a U6T900 (Crazy Johns version) and a ZTE MF633 (Bigpond version) and none of them showed a signal at all.

3) Tips for boot speedup - anyone know any? I've uninstalled crap I don't need, which brought it down a little. But I'm still seeing around the 35 second mark.

4) Both USB ports are host only, right? SD card and WiFi are the only ways to copy files over?
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
I think you are confusing rearview camera with DVR function. I have a rearview camera connected and it works, it shows an image when switching to reverse on car. I've got an image BEFORE the Android even boots, so it just goes to the LCD directly. It's no way for the system to record this image as it is an analog signal multiplexed over on LCD.

DVR usually refers to a FRONT camera. I did not try, but the specs tells that there is support. I suppose the camera will be connected via a digital connection (USB) in this case not AV like for rearview camera.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

Specify what unit you have , there are 2-3 different units discussed in this thread.(different hardware/software).I know the title of the thread says OUKU but because there is no section for Chinese Android units on the forum, people have no choice.

On S150 you can stop the Radio to start at boot, and you can set what apps you see on your home screen .Not sure on other units. The USB ports are host, so you can also use an USB stick (mass storage) to input data. I suppose there is a device port somewhere but it may be only inside the box, not exposed (manufacturing only).

On the car, when you turn the power off, the unit will switch to battery for a moment and do a proper shutdown. On your configuration, I suppose it can not do a shutdown, because you cut the power off, so you will have data loss or savings not done on some situation (think about removing the power cable on your Windows desktop).

DVR camera on i802

I am aware that the DVR camera goes to the front, but its app seems to be running in the same embedded system the radio and other stock apps are. If you or anyone can shed some light about it, please tell me, this was actually the main reason I changed my Ouku for this unit.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
I think it will not work with any dash-cam, only with some supported ones (probably it requires a specific chipset), and needs a specific connector. If you check online all vendors show the same camera (at least same look) for this device (example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...0-S150-Car-DVD-Stereo-Headunit/800933909.html )

Check with the vendor you bought the radio. If you bought a dash camera also from him (not a rearview camera which connects via AV cable!) check again with the vendor if he send a version which works with S150.

Another one here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...-264-Video-Code-Wide-Angle-120/849096159.html

If you look at camera photos, and cable it looks like it's using the second connector top from the right, which is not named in S150 documentation (see attachment).Probably it's another USB port, and power. If you look at the picture (last link) there is a blue connector on cable which matches the one on S150, from the look). S100 is the same device (hardware) but with Windows CE so the UI may look different in some pictures, but they say that the camera is for both S100 and S150.

PS. One more, seller same camera. It even shows that it connects to that "undocumented" connector on S150.:

I was able to get sound back. While walking through campus to my car, i have no clue why but i randomly remembered playing angry birds and muting it so i can listen to music while playing. So when i got back to my car, i loaded angry birds, unmuted it, and winamp now has sound. Just another option to check if anyone runs into this problem. The reset button diddnt work for me, i had to unmute the program.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
One of the knobless generic (as in not for a specific car make) ones. Do they actually have model names/numbers? I can't see one anywhere.

Ah. That would explain why sometimes it started the music app instead of the radio (after I'd turned it off by the button instead). I'll wire up a switch to simulate the car on the weekend.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
I want to say there are different units (hardware and software) discussed in the thread. The two most discussed are OUKU variants. Another is S150 and variants. Both of those come in standard 2 DIN or on car specific kits. (do a search on Aliexpress for S150 and you will get a long list of car specific kits using S150).There are a few other less popular units mentioned also in the thread (not based on OUKU or S150 hardware/software).

Speaking about your problem, on my S150 when the key is turned off on the car I get a popup on the unit "Shutting down...) for a few seconds so the unit is properly shut down. Somebody mentioned another unit which even has a more advanced mode, where it will go on a sleep mode first on battery with a delayed shutdown after an hour or so. This is very nice and should be a feature of all units with an adjustable shut down time. Many times you may just do a short stop it would be nice if the unit just sleeps and starts instantly after. I'm sure, in time this feature will come to other units, right now we are the beta testers for android units.

Should I flashed with

I spent the whole day yesterday to read through all the posts in this thread, and still I'm not quite sure whether I should flash my unit(s) with "2013.3.26.MCU+2.10.8-1-10-1+system+2.13.6+Hal9k" or not. I remembered reading somewhere that there was someone on this thread that has a similar unit to mine with the exception that he didn't have the 8GB iNAND, and a member on the thread gave him a "Go (ahead)", but I'm not sure whether he has flashed his unit or not. My troubles are that my unit has newer MCU version, System version, and 8GB iNAND rather than 4GB iNAND. Is it okay to flash my unit?

The good:

As of right now my unit is functioning perfectly: I get ad2p (music through bluetooth) within 10 seconds of boot up, full radio within 25 seconds, and the full android at 42 seconds; rear camera takes about 2 seconds to respond during boot-up time, and the wire that connects to my friends iphone4S is able to charge his iPhone4S while playing music from his phone. GPS, wifi, tether, bluetooth and gmail sync work flawlessly. The internal mic use when calling is clear and loading phonebook is an ease. I have tried using 64gb microSD, 32microSD, and 16GB usb drive (with FAT32) and haven't had any problem with them. Somebody on this thread said that his/her unit has freezing problem with external storage drive when it is abruptly disconnected from the unit--I haven't had that problem yet. My main music and video apps are PowerAmp and MXPlayer, and both apps work almost flawless-- I haven't tried loading external playlists yet though.

The bad:

I've read that rooting the unit will cut the boot time of the unit to almost half-- ~25 sec. I like to have this if possible. Additionally, I like to have ad hoc, torque, and the ability to use format others than FAT32 on my external storage device.

Here is current (stock) specs of my unit:

Please don't flame me if this already answered, I have spent a large amount of time researching this before actually bring this here. It is just that I never found a clear cut answer and I like to flash all four of my android units if possible.

(I didn't buy it on ebay, but directly at the manufacturer in China and it looks exactly like the onku)

CPU: FreeScale i.MX53

RAM: 512 DDR3 800

ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.7

MCU: 2.10.9-1-10-1

System version: 2.13.11

Where did you buy it? Which model is it?
[Android Head-Units] nlttester:
I bought it online directly from the manufacturer at the source and it's unbranded, there is really no model number as far as I know, but maybe you can tell me where to look at the units. I installed two units as of current: one on the 2002 Honda Accord (V6 - 2drs) with speakers and sub, and the other on my 2005 Toyota Prius w/ JBL speakers and sub. the units are running very good, but I would like to cut the boot-up time if possible. My friend uses his Iphone4S and I use my rooted android phone ; so far, everything works perfectly for the both of us. As a side note, I like to mention that the mic on the android units are clear when we used for calling.

BTW, does anyone has a way to solve the problem with the Youtube app giving error " unsupported format". I did some research and some solved this problem by using an older version of youtube and download some flash player, but so far I haven't had any luck with it. I really like to new version of youtube, and it would be great if this problem would be solved

My unit is a VW specific unit but I think the software is all the same. I am giving you that URL so you can download it just in case or someone may be able to root it for us. No guarantee's that it is in fact the same for yours but it seems likely.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I assume the entire unit is the same and they just change the front panels to suit different installs.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Yes. They release a standard "2 DIN" unit first and after that custom car kit. Those use the same hardware and software but have a proper face plate and an additional harness cable (including CAN bus) which support the steering wheel controls. The harness is made to plug on the unit on one side and into existing car connectors on the other so in most of the cases no cable cutting is necessary.

OUKU DVB Support

Hello,

I have builded DVB-Modules for Hal9k_’s rooted software update.

I can insmod dvb-core.ko with success but on dvb-usb.ko i get an error.

dvb_usb: disagrees about version of symbol dvb_dmxdev_init.

dvb_usb: Unknown symbol dvb_dmxdev_init

And so on.

So i think that unknown symbol means the module is depending a symboly that it expects to be provided by the kernel but the kernel is compiled with it missing.

So i need to reconfigure and rebuild the kernel.

Is there any way to get the source for Hal9k_’s rooted software?

Or is anybody else able to rebuild the Kernel with DVB-Support?

Excuse me for my bad english!

Hit a small problem today - Play Store says it has insufficient space to install TomTom. Installed it from an APK instead, and it runs, but Play keeps wanting to update it and comes up with the error again. I know I could turn off updating for TomTom, but I'd also like to make sure I've got it up to date, so I'd prefer to fix the problem.

Anyone know which partition it's complaining about? I'm assuming /cache since it's the only one with limited space. Is there a way to easily fix this (don't care if I have to factory reset - nothing important on here).
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I'm no kernel expert, but here's my thoughts:

That function is a part of dvb-core as far as I can tell, so if it's loading that, it should be there for it. Are the modules sitting with other modules you know the unit is loading? Did you run depmod at all on the unit after copying the modules over?
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Just google, there are several results for moving your cache partition to the sd card, just use the /data partition in the instructions instead of /sdcard.
[Android Head-Units] dados:
Thank you for your helpfull hint. :good:

You are right it is a part of dvb-core.

I builded core and usb-dvb with the symversion from Hal9k_’s update.

So there where no error in core, but usb-dvb need some parts more, like insert, eject and cache for a dvbstick.

This is a part of dvb-core and it must be in the kernel as definition.

Otherwise it fails to load.

The kernel must be rebuilded with the right config for it!

I extracted the Module.symvers with extract-symvers.py from glandium.

I dont know if i there are a possibility to go the other way and to inject a Module.symvers.

The easy way to build a new uImage would be to have the source.

I had a look at freescale, but there i could not find the version 10.3.3.

Only 10.3.2.

But i will give it a try, if i find time to build and test.

[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
".....we need to identify a very close copy of kernel source code to work with. To my knowledge, the exact kernel source used on the Ouku has not been released. Looking through Freescale’s website, I found a link to Linux kernel source for the SABRE tablet platform that seemed to meet the bill."

Thank you.

I used this source with 2 patches for ath6k and usb-otg.

Builded uImige successful, but only blackscreen. :(

I've no idea why.

May be the toolchain is the reason.

I used linaro 4.6.2, because android-ndk-r5b will not build an image.

nm not found.

The gay don't build a kernel, he crosscompiled the module with a build-tree.

That is not so difficult.

The problem is, if the module use some functions not provided by the kernel, then you have to rebuild the kernel with new configuration.

Learning by doing.

This is my new hobby and only the second kernel i build by myself.

So i am an absolute beginner and google is my friend. :D
